Bad news though. As I did the search of netoru on google to see if this page came up, I was disappointed. The first page that came up was a list of items I'm selling on trademe (nothing by the way). Then there were a few forum topics in ffgurus from years ago. Another entry actually had the meaning of netoru in japanese...it was a pretty random choice for an internet name so I didn't think it meant anything. The reality is that people who know japanese are going to think I'm a dodgy 'wife stealer,' when they see my name...
But you don't want to hear about all that. What you really want me to talk about is the meaning of asteroid names. I know you want to go through them all, but I'm only going to go into #59001-60000
Comets and asteriods are usually named after the person who discovered them. In 1999, Daniel Matter discovered an asteroid and called it DaniMatter. Is this a really wise thing to do? A comet is a big and usually ugly rock. If it for some reason is headed on a collision course direct with planet Earth, or Mars, people are going to be referring to this comet by name as if it were the enemy. "We will nuke DaniMatter right out of the history books!" "DaniMatter is nothing when up against the human race!" That's what the president will be saying before they blow up DaniMatter and everyone will cheer.
Maybe instead you should name the asteroid after an ex you hate, or an enemy if you have one. (Note: I know I kept interchanging between comet & asteroid, but they're virtually the same thing..)
The God debate is closed now due to too much controversy. Instead, why don't we debate who will win the rugby in the weekend, NZ or Canada? And if you really like controversy...do you forgive Chris Jack for not playing in this crucial match, so he could see his baby be born? This is unforgivable in some peoples eyes.
Since I've figured out how to put youtube videos on here, I will continue to do so

Good point about naming the asteriod after yourself...It will be cast in a negative light if it was to threaten the existence of humanity...
Chris Jack and Douglous Howlett -> there are things more important than rugby, so they should be allowed paternity leaves. They are professionals, and all professions allow for this.
I can't watch the U-tube videos at work...and this is my quick lunch break...
i think the video is the only thing worth taking a look in that entry...
Good video
